#SHIN KI TAE & LEE WAN

[kexing]

Lee Wan & Shin Ki Tae happy boyfriends era.

[khunkinn]

Let's just stay like this.

[krystaljungs]

It’s because the game we’re developing is a dating simulator. I’m just curious.

[respectthepetty]

I need y'all to understand exactly why Our Dating Sim is doing the "I left him because I love him" plot sooooooo well for me.

Lee Wan (Ian) kissed Ki Tae (Eddy). When Eddy stepped back and pushed Ian away, Ian ran away. They have not seen each other for seven years.

In that time, Eddy has searched for Ian, and when he finally found him, he launched a strategic plan to get Ian back into his orbit.

HOWEVER, he hasn't just forgotten that Ian ran away seven years ago, essentially abandoning him.

This is what I think other shows that attempt this miss. They either fall into "I'm just so happy to have him back and will forgive everything" OR "I'm holding grudges forever." Eddy wants Ian back, but he has been passively/aggressively reminding Ian that HE left him, not the other way around. Ian can be upset. Ian can be overwhelmed. But at the end of the day, IAN left Eddy, so while Ian was allowed to move beyond the incident over the past seven years, Eddy has been stuck there.

Ian tells Eddy he acted as if he didn't remember Ian, but Eddy corrects him that Ian acted that way first. Ian tells Eddy he is stalking him. Eddy reminds him that his blog was open to the public, he truly needed an illustrator, and has been professional with him.

And this entire moment was *delicious* because unlike other shows, Eddy doesn't let Ian slide. Ian can't avoid the truth. Ian can't pin this on Eddy. Eddy doesn't let Ian avoid answering. He confronts Ian, and the longer they do this, the more aggressive Eddy becomes. He even shoulder checks Ian.

Even when Ian begs, Eddy lets him walk away, but he doesn't let up.

Because Eddy DESERVES ANSWERS!

Ian's feelings of rejection were valid. Eddy pushed him away and stepped back, but he didn't give Eddy a chance to explain, and seven years later, he still won't.

Eddy doesn't just deserve answers.

Eddy deserves to be heard.

Tag Game - Poll: 5 Fav Characters

Challenge: Make a poll with five of your all time favourite characters, and then tag five people to do the same. See which character is everyone's favourite.

Tagged by @thisonelikesaliens & @mikuni14 Thank you so much ✨

I just couldn't pick one character, so here are pairs that are my all time favourites.

It was so hard to pick favs, and after I came up with this list I realised that I picked from Korean and Taiwanese BLs, but that doesn't mean I have any favs from Thai BL. Others I would have loved to put on this list- Ayan from The Eclipse, Boston from Only Friends, Tang Yi from HIStory 3: Trapped Charn from Laws of Attraction and many more.

SHIN KI TAE BEING MESMERIZED BY LEE WAN...

OUR DATING SIM (2023, SOUTH KOREAN)

Shin Ki Tae (LEE SEUNG GYU) was overwhelmed by Lee Wan's (LEE JONG HYUK) confession in high school and his subsequent reaction caused Lee Wan to flee.

Shin Ki Tae reconnected with Lee Wan through the latters cartoon blog well before a face to face reunion took place.

7 years after the confession Shin Ki Tae lured Lee Wan out of hiding via a job proposal as an illustrator for gaming company creating a dating simulation app.

Initially a bit cold Shin Ki Tae finally returned the confession but could Lee Wan (still pining for his high school first love) believe that Shin Ki Tae returned his feelings after what Lee Wan felt as rejection 7 Years Ago.

Let's give a hand for korean bls this year

[respectthepetty]

Our Dating Sim is easily my favorite Korean BL of the year so far. EASILY! It's giving me good pacing, a good plot, and color-coded boys in love.

Eddy, our Green Guy, is a MENACE! This man told Ian, the potential Blue Boy, that he is Gameboy, has been following his blog like a boy with a crush, and that he isn't going to let Ian run away again.

And he did it IN THE BLUE, which is Ian's potential color!

Look at the barrier between them! Is Ian wearing green?!

Because Eddy is relentless, he made up his mind that Ian was going to feel his color love one way or another.

Sidenote: the characters on the board are in blues and that peach color, so is Ian actually a peach/orange color? I gotta figure out this kid's color! It has to be blue though. It just has to be!

Eddy takes Ian back to where it all started for them, and Ian is surrounded by Eddy's love color. He reveals that he has Ian's camera.

Even in the library, the blue and greens are there (Ian has to be blue. He just has to!).

But the best part is when both of them WALK THE LINE!

Eddy keeps getting closer to the true issue between them, but Ian keeps avoiding it and walking away ON THE LINE. They are both walking the line that connects them between honesty and avoidance, literally and figuratively, but Eddy finally closes the distance and confesses.

Look at the red over his heart! It became more exposed as the episode continued, finally being revealed once Eddy confessed. I don't know if the W is significant but he does like Lee Wan.

These four episodes have fed me so well. I love this show. Don't disappoint me!
